Nine-year-old Nanea may be the youngest in her family, but she still
wants to "dip her paddle in" and be useful. She knows she's grown-up
enough to help in her grandparents' market. But before she can prove
that she's ready for more responsibility, the unthinkable happens: Japan
attacks Pearl Harbor, the naval base where her father works, and
America is at war! With friends and family missing, and rumors of more
attacks to come, Nanea worries―will life ever be the same again?
Prints in the Sand: My Journey with Nanea (American Girl Beforever Journey)
Paperback

The puka shells jingle in my hand. I don't want to lose them, so I slide
the necklace over my head. But as I pull my hair out from under the
string of shells, the ground drops from beneath my feet. I feel the
whoosh of an ocean breeze, and then a pink mist covers my eyes . . .
What if you suddenly found yourself in Nanea's hometown of Honolulu
during World War Two? Together, you and Nanea could send secret messages
for the war effort or work in a Victory Garden. You could learn how to
hula dance or help a lost dog. As you read, you decide what happens by
choosing your own path through this multiple-ending story.

Nanea had hoped that going back to school would make life seem normal
again. But everything has changed since the war, including Miss Smith's
wonderful classroom. Nanea's dear friend Donna is gone, and now there's a
new girl who seems to be getting all of Miss Smith's attention. There
are also worries at home as Nanea's big brother talks about joining the
Army. Nanea can't bear the thought of him leaving. In the swirl of
changes, Nanea turns to hula. Dancing always makes her feel better.
Then, Nanea gets a big idea―could hula help lift the spirits of the
soldiers, too?
